CONFESS FLETCH – Review by Martha K Baker

Get ready to experience a Fletch film sans Chevy Chase. Get ready to give Jon Hamm a chance at the grail that is Fletch, a charming, discombobulated detective and, most interesting –and to him significant — a former investigative reporter. That life provided expertise for being an investigative detective, he insists. To wit: When interrogated whether he has income from unsavory sources, he responds, “Writing for in-flight magazines is as unsavory as it gets.”

BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR – Review by Leslie Combemale

February 12, 2021February 12, 2021 Leslie Combemale Annie Mumolo, barb and star go to vista del mar, Jamie Dornan, kristen wiig

Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar is a frothy flick that lands just in time for Galantine’s Day. Penned by and staring longtime friends Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, the story target 40-something besties that harbor no longterm grudges or deep-seated animosity towards each other. There are Technicolor musical numbers, psychedelic vignettes, and over-the-top bananas plot devices. It’s a strange, tacky trip that works mostly through how Mumolo, Wiig, and the rest of the cast sell it, and it’s sweet and funny enough to put a one hour and forty-six minute pin in your pandemic fatigue.

LOOKS THAT KILL – Review by Liz Braun

June 20, 2020June 20, 2020 Liz Braun 0 Comments Annie Mumolo, Brandon Flynn, Julia Golden Telles, kellen moore, looks that kill, Peter Scolari

Looks That Kill begins as a dark comedy, evolves into a romantic teen fable and suddenly veers off into euthanasia territory. Kind of a tone whiplash situation, but a YA audience will probably find lots to like regardless.
